Carolyn M. Nisula

Tuesday

Carolyn M. Nisula of Yardley died Friday, Jan. 25, 2013, just short of her 63rd birthday, having just returned from a Caribbean cruise with the Phillies.

She was the beloved wife of David J. Nisula of Yardley.

Born in Philadelphia, Carol was the only child of the late George and Emily Solecki Kretz.

Carol was a resident of Yardley for the past 28 years. She led a full life marked by a strong independent will and a drive toward achievement.

As a computer systems analyst for Verizon/Bell Atlantic, she received the President's Hallmark of Excellence Award from regional president Gilbert Wetzel. She was the first woman ever to be honored with this Bell Atlantic Award.

An inveterate cruiser in her leisure time, Carol had gone on 25 cruises, virtually all with her husband and son. She very much enjoyed visiting Caesar's and the cruise ship's casinos. She also became the family genealogical expert tracing lineage throughout Europe and Scandinavia, even employing DNA methods.

In addition to her beloved husband, she is survived by her son, Jonathan Michael Nisula of Yardley; her four stepchildren, Kathleen Hogan and her husband, Sean, of Mullica Hill, N.J., James Nisula of Doylestown, Joseph Nisula and his wife, Nancy, of Upper Southampton, and David Nisula Jr. and his wife, Mary Ann, of Mullica Hill, N.J. She also is survived by her six dear step-grandchildren, Caitlin, Rachel, Kristen, Abigail, Megan and David J. III; and her three cousins, Vincent Wolanin and his wife, Illona, of Sanibel, Fla., Gregory Wolanin of Loudonville, N.Y., and Edward Solecki of Philadelphia, all of whom shared her childhood.

Relatives and friends are invited to call from 10 a.m. until her funeral Mass at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 2, at St. Ignatius of Antioch Church, 999 Reading Ave., Yardley. Her interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, contributions on her name may be made to the Mayo Clinic - Department of Development, 200 First Street S.W., Rochester, MN 55905. www.fluehr.com
